Kala Jamun

‘Thank your mother, brother, father, sister or friend. Thank the weather or thank the farmer. Thank your neighbor’, says Meeta of What’s for lunch Honey.She asks us to dedicate a thank you dish for someone special. What a great chance!

I came here in 28th week of my pregnancy and you can guess how worried would have been my elders back home to send me all alone. But, on the controversy I never had any separation depression or fear. All bcoz of my FRIENDS. They were helpful and so caring that I felt really at home. I never want to miss a single chance to thank them. Thank you, my friends, for being everything to me and helping me in my hard times. Hereby, I send this fabulous sweet – Kala Jamun as a dedication to all my friends for Meeta’s monthly mingle.

Ingredients:

Pancake mix- 32 oz pack

Nonfat dry milk – 2 cups

Butter- 2 tbsp

Oil/ghee – to fry

Sugar- approx- 2 cups

cardamom- 2 nos

Method

Bring the butter to room temperature. Mix the pancake mix and milk powder with butter, then add water to make a soft dough. Make balls of uniform size and fry them in oil on a low heat.

Dissolve the sugar in water, boil and bring to a 1/2 string consistency. Add cardamom .Soak the jamuns in the syrup till they absorp all the syrup.Serve with drizzle of honey on top.

A must note about the taste- it is so addicting and your kids will ask for more and more. You wouldn’t believe I made three batches since Diwali, and still my girl asks me to make it again.

Those jamuns looks delicious Lakshmiammal !
What brand of pancake mix do you suggest ?

BTW today I made ur inji poondu kuzhambu. Its the best poondu kuzhambu I have ever tasted, the ingredients you have used for the spice powder adds a whole lot of flavor to the kuzhambu. I wish I had vadagam love ’em for these kinda curries and sambars.

Thank you all my friends, I feel good being in the food blogging community that have gained me so many friends. This weekend, I made it again for my friend’s bridal party and the bride now wants the recipe to make it for her husband to be.:-)
